Peter Jackson, who still don't know if he will take The Hobbit after Guillermo del Toro dropped the project, made trips to London, Los Angeles and New York to meet with some actors, even if the project has not yet received the green light.

According to Reuters, Jackson's travels are motivated by the fact that Warner, who hold half the ownership of the two films are prepared to do everything possible to get it to work.

The brake comes only from the accounts of MGM the co-owners. Is likely to be announced a transfer of the rights from MGM to Warner and the two films to be produced exclusively by Warner.

At this time Peter Jackson is in Los Angeles trying to raise, along with casting director Victoria Burrows, a distribution that is well suited for The Hobbit.
